RUSSIA has unleashed one of its biggest aerial attacks on Ukraine this year, just days after crunch peace talks between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

A total of 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight into yesterday, mostly targeting the country’s western regions.

At least one person was killed and over a dozen were injured, according to officials.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack. He added: "Last night, the Russian army set one of its insane anti-records.

"They targeted civilian infrastructure facilities, residential buildings and our people."

He added: "The Russians carried out this attack as if nothing has changed at all, as if there are no global efforts to stop this war.
